my eyebrows are NOT next

so it happened yesterday. sometime after dinner and before hanging out at the bar, i lost control. unable to cope with my inability to 'get tricky' in SSX TRICKY and frustrated by my slow running computer, i resorted to the only thing i know: shaving.

and i did some serious shaving. the only aspect of my facial hair that remains is my 'soul patch.' it's angled downward, in the shape of a triangle, but i think it's a little uneven (but that can be corrected when i brush the hair over with my fingers).

my sideburns are gone. and at the moment i don't totally miss them. sure, there's a noticeable tan line running down the sides of my face, but i can live with that. my goatee is on the list of facial hair parts i regret shaving. but i just wasn't comfortable having a goatee without a moustache...the moustache was the first thing i removed. the goatee then had to go. or is it a van dyke? i'm always losing that bet.

and then it was time for the sideburns. they were trimmed much more quickly and efficiently than i expected. ear length didn't satisfy me. they just weren't long enough, or something. the proportions with the rest of my head felt off. way off. so i got rid of them entirely.

i cleaned up the shaving with an additional shave this evening. but i'm letting the goatee return. i feel 14 without it.
